The Northern Mystics have confirmed their status as the most energetic of the New Zealand netball franchises after Tuesday's release of teams for the 2010 trans-Tasman league.
Only four players remain from the 12 who last year finished eighth out of the 10 teams in the ANZ Championship.
Silver Ferns midcourt pivot Temepara George remains, as does goal shoot Cathrine Latu, who finished last year's league with an impressive 86 percent success rate from 13 games.
Only long-serving New Zealand goal shoot Irene van Dyk bettered that over the full season with 93 percent.
Defensive utility Finau Pulu is still on the Mystics' roster, as is attacking midcourter and national under-21 representative Grace Rasmussen.
Heading those making the trek to Auckland are Silver Ferns Maria Tutaia and Joline Henry, both formerly of Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic.
Joining them are New Zealand teammate Larrissa Willcox, who played for Canterbury Tactix this season, and Jamaican defender Althea Byfield, moving from Central Pulse.
